Burns are perhaps the most painful type of injury that someone can suffer. Not only is the injury-causing incident agonizing (and frightening), but the treatment and recovery may be even more painful than the initial injurious incident. Whether you sustain burns during a workplace mishap, defective product, electrocution, car collision, or another manner, there’s a good chance that your injuries could have been avoided had another person or entity taken proper care for your safety. Our Lake Worth, FL burn injury lawyer can review your legal options for compensation.

Burn Injuries Require Serious Medical Treatment

Burn injuries have a high risk of infection, complicating your care and recovery. You may need dedicated personal care around the clock to keep the dressings clean, soothe your pain, and monitor your condition for complications. Many people require skin grafts, an invasive procedure that may require multiple sessions to completely replace the damaged dermis. Not only is the healing extremely painful, but the skin graft process itself is uncomfortable, too.

As you recover, your ability to work, care for your family, go to school, and even engage in your favorite hobbies and activities may be hampered by your recovery, limited mobility, and the need to avoid situations that could expose your healing burn wounds to infection. The pain of burn injuries and recovery is intense, and the trauma may not end when your physical recovery does. Many victims, especially those with visible, extensive scarring, may develop depression over the changes in their appearance and abilities or social anxiety due to the scarring and disfigurement.

Expensive medical bills, a long absence from work, the emotional trauma of the experience and aftermath, plus chronic pain can leave a burn victim’s life forever changed. We know that no amount of money can make up for what happened to you. Seeing the party responsible for causing your burn injuries take responsibility in civil court can help give you a measure of justice and closure, though. And, any settlement you receive can help alleviate your financial stress and provide money for the best possible reconstructive procedures. Our Lake Worth burn injury lawyer is prepared to fight for your legal interests.
